My only comment I will make about Star Wars - Adam Driver

Personally I thought he was kinda a bad actor but then again the only thing I ever saw him in was that horrible wretched TV show 'Girls' that I tried to watch but could barely sit through more than 2-3 episodes until I screamed 'NO MORE'. He was just as awful as the girl that they had in that show.

When I heard he was cast in the new 'Star Wars' movie I figured that wasn't going to work out that well but I tried to keep an open mind.

All I can say is that I was totally BLOWN AWAY.

Adam Driver totally rocked that movie and was the absolutely best part of the entire film. You know Alec Guiness got an Oscar nod for the very first Star Wars movie, I think Driver deserves one for this movie he was that fricking good.

Brilliant casting by JJ Abrams.

Happens all too often and I am guilty of it myself. I find almost all the characters on "Girls" -- including Driver -- repugnant. At first I thought I was just missing something about the show or that the acting has seriously lacking so it wasn't "clicking" with me. I later saw an interview with Dunham where she admitted that they were supposed to be repugnant. With that in mind, I can now see that Driver plays his character VERY well. Can't wait to see what he brings to the table in SW.
